🎄 A Little Giving Can Make a Big Difference! ❤️

As we prepare for our final MOV SHRM meeting of the year, we’re also looking forward to giving back to our community!

We’ll be collecting non-perishable food donations to support The Salvation Army’s Thanksgiving and Christmas Food Drive, helping local families during the holiday season.

If you’re joining us for our November meeting, we encourage you to bring an item to contribute. Every donation, big or small, can make a difference!

❤️ Let’s finish the year by making a positive impact beyond the workplace!
